The Makina 67 is a 6×7 strut folding camera with a coupled rangefinder. It was developed by Plaubel after the company was bought in 1975 by a Japanese company named Doi. The camera's shape is reminiscent of the earlier Makina.
The first prototypes were called Makinette 67 and made in Germany, and are quite different from the production model.
The production Makina 67 bodies were made in Japan by Konica. They have a Nikkor 80/2.8 lens.
The Makina 670 followed, with a modified body, which it shares with the wide-angle Makina W67, equipped with a Nikkor 55/4.5 lens.
